Linearkombinationen von iterierten Bernsteinoperatoren

The Bernstein polynomials B_n(f) approximate every function f which is continuous on [0, 1] uniformly on [0, 1]. Also the derivatives of the Bernstein polynomials approach the derivatives of the function f uniformly on [0, 1], if f has continuous derivatives. In this paper we shall introduce polynomial operators, namely linear combinations of iterates of Bernstein operators, which have the same properties but, under definite conditions, approximate f more closely than the Bernstein operators.
